An interpretation from the Analogical Hermeneutics perspective: The education based on coexistence

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to show certain guidelines of education based on coexistence and some of the problems that arise when trying to implement it in a culture that privileges competition. As a reference, it takes into account the report made to UNESCO by the International Commission on Education for the 21st Century, chaired by Jacques Delors, which establishes the four pillars of education, bringing to our attention the pillar about learning to live together. For this task, we require Analogical Hermeneutics as attitude and method, since it has in its essence an intermediate way that avoids absolutist or relativist interpretations. This analysis concludes that an analogical vision allows to grant clarity regarding the needs that must be reconciled in education: To learn technical skills to perform well in the current world; and, to learn social-emotional skills centered on teamwork, cooperation, respect and affection for others.
